Haven't been active lately coz I am not connecting to the characters so well. Need some help from you all in understanding what the makers are trying to show?
1. Today's Abhimaan scene was really beautiful, but it didn't hit me like it should have coz I don't feel the pull anymore. At the back of my mind, I have this feeling that Armaan would do same for Ruhi also. He would be bandaging her and giving her mooney eyes if she were to get injured like this. So this ArAb scene just didn't do it for me? Here, the CVs really failed to strike a balance. Had they not given than unnecessary Ruhaan scene of Ruhi being ill, this ArAb scene would have hit different.
2. This is slowest of the slow burns I have ever watched on ITV. It's been 3 months already and the leads haven't gone past the friendship stage (despite being married for more than 2 months). It's bizarre coz they don't even think about each other romantically or have any kind of jealousy. I mean little attraction from either of them needs to come now. Story needs to move fwd.
3. I just don't understand the point of prolonging the Ruhaan angle to be very honest. It has served its purpose. We know Ar Ru loved each other and probably still do. Now what? We aren't interested in bigamy, nor do we wish to watch Ruhaan romance if Abhimaan are endgame. Then what's the point of showing their scenes (if Abhira isn't watching)? Instead bringing back Rohit and starting a parallel RuHit slowburn romance will give them more scope for content.
4. Instead they can bring Rohit back and not reveal the truth, but show some angst between Armaan /Rohit/ Ruhi. Or they can show Ar Ab starting to feel for each other, but suddenly Ruhaan's truth comes out and Ab stops herself from falling. At least something is needed.
5. The last high point of the show came in Dec when Rohit got to know the truth. After that since last 1.5 months, story is stuck. Except for progression in Abhimaan's friendship and some Dadisa Abhira scenes, nothing has changed.
6. With ArAb they can try so many tropes. Friendship dikha di. They can show slowly falling for each other. Subtle jealousy. Ab finding out Ar's mom's truth and helping him. ArAb cementing a place in the family. Ab becoming completely independent. Ab's lineage truth. Separation. Proper wedding. They literally have 1 year worth of content ready. But they are not moving only. I don't understand what's the purpose?
7. Lastly, anyone else noticed that they have completely stopped showing romantic ArAb scenes since a week? After party, we haven't gotten anything at all. Even today's scene was super rushed. Is it because they don't want them to move ahead in their relationship?
